I have an odd one -- Running FM Server Advanced 9.0.3.326. My Web Publishing Engine won't start -- yet it IS running. I see it in the processes "FM Web Publishin". And its working -- my sites using XML pulls are functioning... Apache 2.2 is running. I just keep getting emails from FM Server saying: Some problems were detected in the WPE COMPONENT: COMPONENT IS NOT RESPONDING. I've rebooted the server a couple of times and keep getting this. This happened after I had a hard crash on my server (100% processor load for 1/2 hr), and had to due a hard reset. ...any ideas?? Thanks!

Excellent! That will work for me! Thanks!

Anyone know of a way to reset the Get(RecordID)? I've got a table that is extensively "wired" with a million relationships that does a bunch of processing (creating records, process and then delete) and the RecordID is up around 500,000,000. The only problem is that I'm using XML requests to get the data, and those large record ids are just adding a lot of extra data to the XML output. Plus I'm wondering if that large rec id is slowing down new record creation? I can easily delete all of the records in the table, but that doesn't seem to reset it, nor does doing a "recover", or "file maintenance". I'm open to any ideas! ...even if there is a program that will copy a fm database file to a new file and replicate all relations, scripts, value lists and layouts to create a "fresh" duplicate file. Thanks for everyone's ideas! Ryan

Everyone, Thanks for all of the great insight and information! I had a feeling that I'm probably going to need to insert Goto Window & Goto Layout script steps to ensure that the script is operating on the correct window. ...was just trying to minimize the number of steps in my scripts to make them run as efficiently as possible. I had tried the Abort Off and Freeze Window and it doesn't seem to fix the problem. comment -- I think you're right - this really does seem to be a flaw with FM's scripting system. My need is how to make this more bullet proof for unexperienced click happy end users using built FM apps. Søren Dyhr -- great link on GTRR! I've never thought of that method... I'm currently HEAVILY using GTRRs where I'm putting the results into new windows -- doing my operations and then closing and reselecting the original windows. I'm open to any feedback on good vs bad on using this method. Thanks! Ryan

Hopefully there is a simple solution to this that I'm overlooking!! I've got a multitude of scripts that are quite lengthy (read: they take 3-30secs to run), and I'm heavily using multiple windows with different layouts. Here's the problem, while a script is running, if a user clicks on another window (with a different layout of course) while a script is running it continues operating, but on the window that was just clicked -- often with disastrous results. Is there any way to prevent the user from being able to interfere with a script while its running? Thanks for everyone's time & knowledge on this! Running on Mac OS X 10.4, FM Adv 8.5

You were right! I initally downloaded and installed the Server updates, but didn't see the one for the Web Engine! That fixed the problem! Thanks so much for your time! Also - thanks for the note on security. I just opened it up so everyone could look at everything. It also fixed another problem of the site's occasionally giving me "unknown errors". Thanks! Ryan

I am having problems getting Filemaker to serve up the correct photo when being pulled an xml request thru XSLT. In a nutshell, its always serving up the photo from the first record of a found set - no matter what recid I call for. I believe that the url request is correct. Here's 2 examples: 1) Below is the url for the image src that is being generated. (I added the domain info to all so you can click & see) http://www.adlineagency.com/fmi/xsl/cnt/data.jpg?-db=6255%20Site%20Database&-lay=NewsListPage&-recid=28&-field=Photo1(1) My request is asking for a photo from record 28 - which should be a photo of a building entrance - but instead I'm receiving a photo I placed on the first record (recid 1) of the table (a helicopter pic). Viewing from the layout inside Filemaker its showing the correct photo, and if I search on recid 28 (I setup a field that allows me to serach by recid) - it gives me the correct photo inside Filemaker. I made sure the -lay is matching to the correct layout, and that field is placed on the layout. 2) Take a look at the home page: I put a different picture on the two sections - News & Games (you'll have to scroll down to see the second one) but its giving me back the same photo for each record. http://www.adlineagency.com/fmi/xsl/6255_wrhs_basketball/template.xsl?-db=6255%20Site%20Database&SchoolDiv=WRHS%20Basketball&Layoutname=HomePage&-sortfield.1=Sortorder&-find&-grammar=fmresultset&-lay=HomePage&-token.1=WRHS%20Basketball&-token.2=HomePage I don't believe the problem is with the XSLT -- I think its something with how FM is finding the photo internally & something to do with what I have setup on my layout. Any ideas? Running FM Advanced Server 7 on Mac OS X 10.3.9. Thanks! Ryan Shacklett
